I enjoy working with both digital and film photography, blending a love for natural light and vintage cameras with a modern approach to visual storytelling.

Beyond the lens, I explore creative technology projects like AI, web design, and ways to keep growing my skills in the evolving world of digital storytelling and search optimization. I’m also a vintage camera collector, dog mom, and curious traveler.

This website is my creative space to share my work, explore new ideas, and invite others into my world. Check out my gallery to see my photography and visit the blog to follow my latest adventures.
